You have learned that President George Washington was not a fan of political parties. What is YOUR OPINION of separate political parties? SUPPORT YOUR OPINION with three ideas of why you support political parties or why you do not.

I think the idea of separate political parties can be troublesome and I believe the system should be reformed to allow for more diversity in representation.

Explanation:

The problem in the United States is that the government is a defacto bi-partisan system that is dominated by two official parties, the Democrats and the Republicans. Therefore a lot of energy is spent on assuring the viability of each individual party internally. In the first instance, politicians are equally if not more worried about their standing within the party than the citizens they represent. This detracts from the work of governing for the people.  The second way that the bipartisan system is problematic is that two parties are clearly hegemonic and other alternative voices are silenced. The third reason I believe this system needs reform and more diversity is that legislation seeks to compromise between the two party positions instead of really addressing and considering all the multidimensional aspects of the social problems that arise.

the anti federalists was a movement that was opposed to the creation of a us federal government. although they were not as organized as the federalists, they also had a large group of leaders, especially in state politics.

the statement "now, in a large extended country, it is impossible to have a representation, possessing the sentiments, and of integrity, to declare the minds of the people” represents the concerns of the anti federalists.

they strongly believed that the federalists were representing the interests of aristocratic elements of society at the expense of the majority of ordinary people, who lived in a rural society.

their fear for the creation of a strong federal government and the president’s power of veto in their opinion would create a tyrannical rule that would dominate the people. they defended the importance of restraining the government’s power towards people at any cost.
